We are in the process of sleep training my 7 month old daughter. It was rough in the beginning, but last night she slept 13 hours and for the first time today she slept for at least an hour for both of her naps. She fell asleep with minimal crying each time. Tonight she was asleep in 3 minutes with no crying.

My LO (little one) gets about 14 hours a day. I adjust his bedtime depending on how he napped. Tonight he was in bed by 6:30 due to a short 2nd nap. He usually sleeps 11.5-12 hours at night and 2-3 hours during the day.

Easiest way for me to ensure he gets enough sleep is to monitor wake times. Right now he does 2.75/3.25/3.5.

This will all go to hell, I’m sure, when he starts daycare in a few weeks.

*Knock on wood*

We’re thinking about doing the same thing (sleep training), but every time we get started, something comes up (mainly, she gets sick so we stop/break). Out of curiosity, how long have you been at it with your DD (dear daughter) before you saw these results? 3 days, a week, more? Thanks in advance!

Your 11-month-old: Week 3

It's a good time to introduce your baby to the concept of helping out. Though he won't be able to get it just yet, by the time he's a toddler he'll be excited to assist in putting toys away and picking up spilled snacks.

Your 11-month-old: Week 4

If your baby isn't walking already, she's likely to take her first independent steps soon. (If not, don't worry. Some perfectly normal babies are 17 or 18 months old before they start walking.)
